Question

Identify the expression which could represent the statement "the product of c and a factor not dependent on c.

Answer 1

Answer:  The correct option is (B) $c(b+3)d.$

Step-by-step explanation:  We are given to identify the expression which could represent the statement "the product of c and a factor not dependent on c.

The first expression is  $c(b+c)d.$

Since, $(b+c)d.$ contains 'c', so it is not independent of 'c'.

Hence, option (A) is incorrect.

The second expression is  $c(b+3)d.$

Since, $(b+3)d.$ does not contain 'c', so it is independent of 'c'.

Hence, option (B) is incorrect.

The third expression is  $b(c+3)d.$

Since, the given expression does not contain 'c', but it contains (c+3).

Hence, option (C) is incorrect.

The fourth expression is  $c(b+3)c.$

Since, $(b+3)c.$ contains 'c', so it is not independent of 'c'.

Hence, option (D) is incorrect.

Thus, the correct option is (B).
